Last month, the Dallas County district attorney's office and Manziel's legal team reached an agreement to dismiss the charge against Manziel under a set of conditions. It could take up to a year for the charge to be dismissed, the DA's office said in court filings Friday.

It was the first time the conditions of his previously announced dismissal were publicly detailed. Under the agreement, Manziel will have to take an anger management course, attend a domestic violence victim impact panel, and participate in either the NFL's substance abuse program or go to a court-approved drug and alcohol rehab facility.

He also can't have any contact with Colleen Crowley, the ex-girlfriend whose allegations resulted in the assault charge.

The judge overseeing the case will still have to approve the dismissal agreement. It will be Manziel's responsibility to find himself a place for treatment or counseling, the DA's office said.

And the conditional dismissal agreement will be tossed if Manziel doesn't complete all of its requirements within a year or if he is charged with another offense, the DA's office said. If he doesn't meet the conditions, he would be prosecuted on the Class A misdemeanor assault charge. The maximum punishment for a conviction on that charge is a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Manziel's attorney, Jim Darnell, described the dismissal agreement in an email statement as a "fair and just resolution for all parties involved."

"My client is pleased to be able to put this part of the situation behind him and is eager to satisfy the terms of the agreement," Darnell said in the statement.

Crowley's attorney could not be reached for comment Friday.

The goal of a conditional dismissal agreement is to teach an individual how to make better decisions when dealing with conflict, the DA's office said.

"It is an important first step for a defendant," the office said in an email statement. "Success or failure will depend upon one's commitment to the treatment programs included."

Jerry Varney, one of the assistant district attorneys on the case, said it is common for conditional dismissal agreements to be offered to someone who is charged with a misdemeanor. That's because courts typically have a lot of misdemeanor cases to deal with.

"It is common for it to be offered, and it is common for it to be accepted," Varney said. "This is not something new and novel."

A hearing to finalize Manziel's dismissal agreement was scheduled for Thursday but was canceled because the court staff needed to attend funeral services for the court's bailiff, who died last weekend.

Over the next year or so, Dallas County prosecutors on the assault case plan to keep tabs on a separate investigation involving Manziel.

Earlier this week, a bar employee in Austin sued Manziel in a Travis County court and accused him of punching him and breaking his nose. Austin police are investigating the alleged incident. It is unclear if Manziel will face any charges in that case.

Manziel has had a number of public lapses over the span of four years. In the summer of 2012, just weeks before the start of what would be his Heisman Award-winning season at A&M, he was jailed for a fight in College Station's nightclub district. He later reached a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to failing to properly identify himself.

By 2015, Manziel was playing pro football for the Cleveland Browns. That February, the team said he had entered a treatment program. After leaving rehab in April, he apologized to the Browns and the "fans that I let down."
